Dungeon Clearer: The Wonderful World of an Adventurer! An Adventurer's Guild RP interest check

Forum: Casual Interest Checks
Interested as well! I was thinking about a Coin character, but instead of a typical rouge-esque character... I was hoping to do a merchant/negotiator character whose job is to use diplomacy to make their missions easier. Like if they encounter a group of goblins, then maybe instead of having to fight them the character can convince them to go down the tunnel to fight the undead protecting a tomb that has some treasures while the rest of the group goes on to secure the relic that the group is there for.
We're still recruiting if anyone wants to join!

Maybe post it in interest check? I know I personally don't check RPs older than a month since they usually aren't accepting anymore.

The Treat of Attolian Amity and Jinje Friendship
The Empire of Attolia wishes to formally thank the Kingdom of Jinje for their aid rendered in the recent events and conflict with the Shuren Dynasty. Thus, the Empire of Attolia presents the following treaty to the Kingdom of Jinje.
1. The Empire of Attolia and the Kingdom of Jinje will enter a formal alliance, coming to the aid of each other in times of conflict and strife.
2. The Empire of Attolia and the Kingdom of Jinje will cooperate to economically support and develop each other's economic interests.
3. The Empire of Attolia gifts it's 5th Third Rate Ship of the Line based in Fort Tian to its new friends to allow the Kingdom of Jinje to learn from western naval design, theory and technology. May it serve as a proud start to a new modernized Jinje Navy.
4. The two parties will establish permanent embassies in each other's lands.
5. The Kingdom of Jinje will also introduce and provide diplomatic assistance in meeting the Kingdom's neighbors and other known nations in Asia.
May this treaty serve as the foundation of generations of friendship for our peoples.
Signed,
Admiral Topi Valtonen, Representative to his Imperial Majesty Lothair II of Attolia

Interested!
Will be joining up as modern humans once more!
When Caelis returned with his scouts, his people were amazed at the treasure that the boar spirit had led them to. It was something that he had to think about very carefully as this sudden influx of wealth would likely change the culture of the group as well. The group so far had largely been a communal people who relied on bartering for trade. Most things, they shared since survival in the steppes was a group effort. However, a currency would certainly be helpful... particularly so whenever they met with another civilization. That said, would they meet another group or a settlement anytime soon? These were hard questions and things to consider.
He ultimately came to decide that in order to facilitate some sort of economy/currency and private enterprise within the group, Caelis distributed 50 pounds of gold evenly among all the adults of the Attolians. It would give everyone some spending money so that they would no longer have to barter for things or services. In fact, that's what he had some of the more crafty elves among the Attolians start working on. He had a good portion of the tribe start turning those 50 pounds into standardized gold coins. It would hopefully lead to the birth of a small internal economy and encourage people to use their creativity and skills to start their own ventures that would benefit the Attolians, a cottage industry. The day that they met others in the world was something that they had to be ready for, and having a currency to use to trade would without a doubt be useful. The rest of the gold and jewels, would remain stowed away as a treasury for this fledgling civilization.

When it came to the communions, there were many disparate voices in regards to the spirits. On one side, there were those like Lady Saphira who saw these spirits in their meditations and fervently believed in them. On the other hand, Salvdal remained skeptical despite the sighting of the boar spirit and their discovery of the treasure chest. Caelis wasn't one to force others to believe in something. Thus, one night, Caelis gathered the Attolians together around the great central campfire where they all ate a communal dinner. He then began his speech:
"My fellow Attolians, our recent Communions have had some of us get in touch with the spirits that reside in these lands. While I am not one to completely worship them with blind devotion, I cannot deny that they do not exist... not after what the great boar spirit led to us."
Caelis then placed his hand on the treasure chest, which sat next to him and patted it.
"Thus, the word of both benevolent and malevolent spirits is... concerning and is an issue that should be addressed. As Salvdal mentioned, perhaps it is all a waste of time, but it pays to be careful. Thus, I ask those of you how have seen these spirits or have communicated with them, in this plane or in visions, to decide among those of you who is the most spiritually attuned to these spirits. Those who have the most innate natural abilities... I will personally ask to become shamans who communicate and placate these spirits... in essence, spiritual leaders of our community."
The Attolians began to mutter among themselves to the news. Most seemed to believe in the spirits to a certain degree, but those who were adamant in their influence in this world and had demonstrated natural spiritual ability soon stood up to walk before Caelis. In all, five of them stood with Lady Saphira taking lead. Caelis slightly bowed to them and said "We rest our trust on you to guide us through the matters of these spirits." They silently and solemnly nodded in acknowledgement.
The very next day, Caelis suddenly woke as he heard a female voice.
Here shall I prove your name
Look, that is the light that will become life
Oh music of Paul that weaves time
Eternally tell the story
Little ones that shine down in the darkness
Again follow him, and me as well
Extol the light of life with prayers
Until the day to come, let it be with you
let it be with you
Caelis stepped out of his tent to see Lady Saphira and the shamans in the middle of the camp with some rudimentary instruments. They were practicing and preparing a ritual and based on the lyrics of the song... or was it a chant? Regardless, it appeared that she was attempting to pray and appeal to the benevolent spirits so that they could keep the darker spirits away from inflicting harm upon the Attolians. Caelis found himself staring. He was certainly entranced by the song, but caught himself a few seconds after it was over. He had to go help the others make coins and supervise the camp. He came to notice that some of the elves were helping the shamans with setting up for the ritual and a festival. With the matter of the spirits being delegated to the five new shamans, Caelis hoped that the spirits would continue to look upon the Attolians with good intentions.

Summary:
Action: Improve Culture and Technology
Caelis designates 50 pounds of the gold to be turned into coins and distributed evenly among the Attolians while the rest of the gold is stowed away as part of the group's treasury. This will hopefully encourage Attolians to start adopting the new currency of the group and facilitate a small economy within the group.
Event: A/X
5 Spiritually attuned Attolians are chosen and asked to serve as the group's shamans in charge of Attolia's spiritual matters. They begin to put together a ritual and festival of lights to cast out the dark and invite benevolent spirits to watch over and guide the Attolians.

Admiral Valtonen determinedly stared at the port of Tian that sat in the distance. The Shuren fleet in the region had been destroyed. The province was largely defenseless to the Fleet. With this in mind, the Admiral sent word to his translators. Talking with the Shuren was a difficult task. Fortunately, they had managed to find a native in Jinje who spoke some of the native language of the Caledonians. They then had to find an Attolian merchant who spoke Caledonian to translate Attolian to Caledonian, then the native of Jinje translated from Caledonian to Jinje. Then they had captured a Shuren sailor who was stranded in the sea from the recent battle who could speak Jinje who then translated from Jinje to Shuren. It took three translators to get a message from Attolian to Shuren, but they managed to accomplish it.
Thus, with the help of his translators, the Admiral began to draft a message to the local leaders of the Shuren in the province of Tian.

"We came under the flag of friendship and peace as bearers of our Emperor's and our people's goodwill. You welcomed us into your homes, but had hearts filled with deceit and lies. With my very eyes, I saw thousands of my men slaughtered, tortured, and enslaved the moment that we landed in the ports of our so called hosts. You not only ignited our ships on fire, but sank all our kindness and goodwill as well into the bottom of the sea. Now, we have come with fire and sword to take reparations for all the lives, ships, and time that you had foolishly taken from us. However, unlike you, I have some empathy and compassion for those who may not be involved in this matter. I, in the name of the Empire of Attolia, demand the following for peace and a return to goodwill between our peoples:
1. Financial Reparations for the loss of lives, ships, suffering incurred and the associated costs and inconveniences for this naval expedition in gold. ($3,000,000 in a lump sum, or $500,000 in 10 payments, each payment being made every three months, considering that I'm going to consider the Ianian fleet as very, very well paid mercenaries)
2. An embassy and territorial concession within the city of Tian for Attolian traders, diplomats and other government officials to permanently operate within. All Attolians and friends of the Empire of the Attolia will be subject to the laws of the Empire of Attolia when in the province of Tian and its associated territories instead of local laws.
3. Recognition of the Attolian claim to and cession of the island off the city of Tian as the rightful territory of Attolia to facilitate future trade, safety, and harmony within the region.
4. The right for ALL traders to enter the province of Tian in order to trade and participate in commercial activities.
5. Most Favored Nation status for the Empire of Attolia
6. The release of any Attolians still held captive by the Shuren Dynasty. The Empire of Attolia will release any Shuren captives as well in good faith.
While there is some room for negotiation, do not take my offer of peace as a sign of weakness. If I do not receive a prompt response, then our fleet will continue its punitive expedition... the effects of which you have seen on your own coasts. If you have any concern for your own people, then I advise that your civilians evacuate the city of Tian if you will not concede to the Empire of Attolia's demands. Consider this a warning, which I have the decency to give to your people.
Signed,
Admiral Topi Valtonen, Commander of the Far Eastern Fleet of the Empire of Attolia"

With that, the fleet ominously continued to sit in the distance of the port of Tian. If the Shuren did not agree, then the Admiral would order the fleet to shell the city itself or so he had planned.
